I worry about him. He's always really angry for no reason.

50% of 1st round picks bust but people worried about giving 3 for a young likely HOF QB.
I think people are just frusrated having to do it all the time. He's clearly worth it IMO.... I'm just tired of having to do it for Mack and Cutler and now maybe Watson. It would be especially frustrating for me with Watson because I was pounding the table for the guy before the draft. If George would just hire me the Bears wouldn't have all these problems.

I get that and I wanted Mahomes. I didnt even know who Trubisky was and wasnt impressed with his tape.
But its 2021 not 2017 and the Bears have the 20th pick. They wont have a top 10 pick next year regardless of CCS opinion. So we can either whine in the past or move forward. I would just rather go for the sure thing than spend 2 firsts on Jones or something.

Not sure how far in the future you can trade draft picks but I'd definitely do 3 1sts and 3 2nds but build it up so that it's:
-2021 1st
-2022 2nd
-2023 1st
-2024 2nd
-2025 1st
-2026 2nd
I'd assume this might be easier on the cap for the Texans when it will eventually come down to re-signing these guys at the end of their rookie deal. Also, I'd probably offer more, franchise QBs don't grow on trees.

you can only trade picks up until the 2023 draft. 3 years.

why would Watson want to embarrass the team he may be coming to?
It hurts him as well.

You think fans will be happy they only got peanuts for him? Lol
Put yourself in that situation.. say watson was on the bears and he wanted out..
You would be happy they pace took any low-ball offer to move him?
Vs keeping him for another year and hoping they can make amends?

Good info, thanks. Starting in the 3rd round every draft for 3 years will make it difficult to add talent around Watson, but I would never complain about getting the guy.

I should have clarified in my post that I meant NFL fans in general. People in general tend to side with players over ownership. However your correct, Texans fans will be pissed.

They should offer 3 1sts and 3 2nds for Watson and 3 3rds. I think that’s the only way to win it.

With our lower picks it will probably take 3 - 1sts, 3 - 2nds, 3 - 3rds and at least one younger rising star type of player. Pace is really good at picking lower round players and UDFA. We will just use a few more of these for the next few years to fill out the roster.
They need to sell Watson on Chicago. Hopefully they can get permission to have a meeting with him.

The guy is not stupid. Why would he want to come to a team that was forced to trade off all avenues of improvement just to get him here? Besides, there is no fucking way he wants to play December football in the NFL North division when he can play all his home games on a better team in a warm Hard Rock Stadium.
Stafford might be the Bears only hope for an established guy.

That's probably the asking price, not what they will get.

With Mahomes, Allen, Jackson, and soon to be Lawrence as the future of the AFC, I think he’ll request to go to an NFC team.

when did it become part of the strategy to just not draft a quarterback? there's guys drafted in the 3rd and 4th rounds that are very good. what's wrong with later in the 1st?

Have you met Ryan Pace? He'd trade his children if he could. Nagy's too.
